ALPHONSE KARR CHALLENGES ABOLITIONISTS [PRO DEATH PENALTY QUOTE]



 
QUOTE: Si l'on veut abolir la peine de mort en ce cas, que MM. les assassins commencent: qu'ils ne tuent pas, on ne les tuera pas.
If one wants to abolish the death penalty in this case, Messrs. murderers should take the first step: they do not kill, we will not kill them.
Les Guêpes, January 1849, vi
